The fact that there is more covert racism in Georgia hopefully doesn't translate into a level as high has all mostly white neighborhoods are still too dangerous for black people they can't jog there.
So truly - let's get real CP. Telling him not to go jog there is not a solution. It's an evidence of racism. And if it truly could be expected that in that neighborhood or in all white neighborhoods there lurk men that will hunt down a black Jogger, then indeed, it is time for change.
